Release v2.0.0-dev7 - possible Bug in Controller

Message

toffel969 · #1 Post by **toffel969** » 17 Apr 2017, 12:27

Hi

I want to report strange behaviour with the dev7 version of ESP easy.

Node (Wemos D1 pro mini + PIR+ Door switch+ Gas pulse counter + two relays) was running stable for about a week as standalone. Then I added my domoticz controller and everything seemed to work nicely. After some time (not sure how long, maybe 12h) the http connection started failing (weblog of esp) and the webserver became unresponsive. I could not open the controller page again after that, no matter how many reboots. I could however issue the reboot command by http and also managed to downgrade firmware to 148RC via OTA. Since then the node is running stable. No idea what caused the issue.

regards

Hello,

i can confirm the webserver of 2.0.0dev7 is broken. It does not work with FHEM either.

Tested with a self compiled dev-version and the "normal" binary from github.
Both uploaded to a WeMOS D1 mini (ESP-12E), configured to send RSSI and the data from a BMP-180 to my FEHM server.
For testing the delay was set to send data every second.

Internaly the ESP works, i can monitor RSSI and BMP-data on the serial port.

Within less then one minute the webpage is no longer available.
I get a "Page did not send data" Error from my browser, no more data recorded in FHEM.
About a minute later i get a blank page from the webserver.

On hard rebooting (off/on) it gets back to work. If the webpage is not called it keeps working for
some minutes,then the ESP crashed and restarts:

The webserver outage and the crash are reproducible on my WeMOS.
Hardware is ok, checked with R148 running issue free.

Hello again,

i did some further tests today.
First i cleaned up the flash with a "zero binary" and reflashed the "normal" 2.0.0dev7 from github.

Well, up to now the permanent crashing seems to be gone.
Sadly that's all changes.

If i reset the ESP-12 and wait one or two minutes i can't connect via browser - i get a blank page, that's all.

Communication with FHEM runs for a while then stops.

Shardan

hi shardan

i flashed a "virgin" wemos with dev7 --> works flawless. i think its residues from previous version in flash. seehttps://www.letscontrolit.com/forum/vie ... 281#p15281
I think its a related problem. if so , then we should update info on github to flash 0 binary when installing dev mega coming from previous espeasy

shardan can you try resetting to factory defaults via the reset command in serial. ( or by connecting rx to tx while powering up)

Shardan · #6 Post by **Shardan** » 22 Apr 2017, 17:36

Hello psy0rz,

i tried the following things:

Reset to defaults (reset command via serial port)
Cleaning up the flash by writing with a "zero binary", then reflashing.
Nothing helped.

If i call the page via browser it is gone, - a minute after rebooting a "Device didn't send any data" error,
some minutes later the webserver is back but the page is just blank. Data transfer to FHEM stopps.

If i reboot and let it just run without opening the webpage i see the crash mentioned above every three minutes.

I'll try two things this evening:
- I'll set the serial monitoring to highest possible level.
- Maybe removing the tasks completely shows changes.

I should have a "virgin" nodeMCU or WeMOS too so i will use that for checking.

Maybe i can see anything then. I'll report here.

Regards
Shardan

Hello again,

meanwhile tested this:

A brand new nodeMCU (still the AI thinker flashed). Flashed it with 2.0.0dev7 from github and the included flash tool.

Starting up with no tasks, configured the FHEM server as controller 1.
This runs, but without any task no data is sent to the FHEM server.

Then I configured just System Info: WiFi RSSI. And the same happened.
The website is unavailable after some minutes. I get a "site didn't sent data" Error.
After some more minutes i get a blank page. Data transfer to FHEM stopped.
If i don't call the page it transfers data to the server until I oipen the webpage.
If I open the page I get an error on the webpage and transfer is gone.

Again i flashed a zero binary to clear up the flash and tried again, but same, nothing changed.

Internal measurement is still working, i see the data on the serial port. Just webservices are gone.

The only thing that seems has changed i don't see any crashes atm.
This may change over time, i'll let it run for a while.

P.S.
Just had the next crash.
Resetted and just let it transfer data to FEHM without opening the webpage

Hello,

I'm sorry - no.
Same behaviour as before: As soon as the FEHM server is configured web site gets unrechable after short time.
FHEM registers uptime for about one minute, then data transfer stops.

I've configured nothing first, just let it run with serial monitoring - runs.
Then i configured a BMP180 and SysInfo-RSSI without any server and got wdt resets and crashes now and then.

After configuring the FHEM service the website is down within a minute.

Data transfer gets erratic: The BMP is configured to send data every second, Uptime every 60 seconds.
For around one minute the data is transferred as described, i can see the BMP180 values float in FHEM.
When the website is down, i get values, but only evey 60 seconds, even for the BMP180-values.
I've no idea what's going on there.

Crashes come with different exceptions:

Addendum to the above:

I've removed the BMP180 for testing purposes with a bad result.
(Just emptied out the Task).
The website was no more reachable, even after resetting the nodeMCU.
I tried to send a RESET via serial to reconfigure - this was not possible.
Only very short after rebooting i was able to send a RESET and formatting the memory.
After that it was no longer possible to connect with WiFi, only reflashing the firmware
brought it back.

Reconfigured the RSSI and Uptime reading to FHEM... again, it works for a short while,
then it behaves erratic. i get sporadic readings every now and then. some tiems the RSSI
is working but the uptime not, then everything stops and so on.
Now, after around 20 minutes i see that data transfer comes up every now and then.
Uptime is configured to send every 60 seconds, updates to FEHM about every 3..5 minutes.
RSSI is configured to send every second, that runs for some "ticks" then stops, comes back after
some minutes running for some ticks and so on.

So it seems we got two different issues: The crashes might be caused from the BMP180 sketch,
as they disappeared when removing the task. The webpage is gone permanently showing "No data received"
and the data transfer is erratic... this is another issue.

Regards
Shardan

psy0rz · #14 Post by **psy0rz** » 24 Apr 2017, 21:51

ah the unreachable website is different reason: during the messagedelay the server is unresponsive. can you try setting the message delay to 0? (its at the advanced settings page)

this way it should keep responding at least. also disable that BMP180 plugin so we can rule out that its that one.

where is the code of that plugin? i can only find bmp280?

psy0rz · #15 Post by **psy0rz** » 02 May 2017, 01:07

Shardan, can you try again with the latest commit? I've fixed https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/issues/253

Note that you can also just download the zip file from github now, without any of the previous isseus (submodules ) https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEas ... e/mega.zip

I want to report strange behaviour with the dev7 version of ESP easy.

Node (Wemos D1 pro mini + PIR+ Door switch+ Gas pulse counter + two relays) was running stable for about a week as standalone. Then I added my domoticz controller and everything seemed to work nicely. After some time (not sure how long, maybe 12h) the http connection started failing (weblog of esp) and the webserver became unresponsive. I could not open the controller page again after that, no matter how many reboots. I could however issue the reboot command by http and also managed to downgrade firmware to 148RC via OTA. Since then the node is running stable. No idea what caused the issue.

Hello toffel969,

psy0rz has committed a bugfix to get rid of the controller problem.
Be aware, it is not in the compiled binaries zip file yet.

I have tested it with several ESP's connected to my FHEM server,
atm i have uptimes on all six test nodes of 1136 minutes reporting data to the server every five seconds.

It would be nice if you could test it against your domoticz server as i don't have domoticz.

Thanks in advance

Regards
Shardan

toffel969 · #19 Post by **toffel969** » 04 May 2017, 21:30

Yes I can do that. Is it included in the dev8 ? If yes I would just need to make one of my nodes report to domoticz instead of standalone. If no could I kindly ask you to provide me with the relevant 4mbbin file?

Shardan · #20 Post by **Shardan** » 04 May 2017, 21:43

It's not included in the actual bin files,
the fix was added later.
If you need a binary let me know.

Yes a 4096-mesized. Target node is a Wemos D1 mini pro with 2 D18B20 Temperature probes, 4 buttons, analog soil moisture probe and an SSR connected directly to GPIO as output actuator.

Shardan · #24 Post by **Shardan** » 05 May 2017, 17:01

Here you go.
This is the version i used for bulk testing, it is running on nodeMCU and WeMos for around 2 days without issues.
It is compiled with the "normal" option, so no testing or development parts are compiled in.

firmware_normal4096.zip: (346.57 KiB) Downloaded 304 times

.
Anyone who wants to use it:
This is NOT an official release from the developers but one i compiled myself.
Don't expect support. Further the 2.0.0 is a work in progress so instability and crashing may occur.

Use at own risk!

Shardan

Thanks, its flashed. I had dev-dev8 installed on the node, did OTA (node is already "in the field"). It reset all my devices and settings, will try to replace the devices (what were the gpios that I used !?! lack of documentation
is a bi**ch , particularly when there is nobody to blame but yourself

) and connect it to domoticz later when my daughter is sleeping.

Correction to above post... I flashed the wrong node

it was still running RC147, so no wonder I lost the devices and settings. However now I flashed the correct node, it didn't reset the settings. Now on the correct node I can also find my sensors

. Its reporting the data correctly to domoticz and seems to run stable. will let it run at least until tomorrow morning.

Check the free RAM on the webside, it should not decrease over time.

After 2h30 operation

so far stable and reporting values to domoticz. So it seems to be working.

If I feel adventurous I will try to flash dev8 back tomorrow morning. Gegenversuch

still going strong. I consider this working and will now try to flash dev-dev8 to see if "this unknown sniplet of code

" (at least to me) fixes the problem with the controller/unresponsiveness or if it was somewhat already included in the binaries of version dev.8

toffel969 · #32 Post by **toffel969** » 06 May 2017, 13:32

I flashed the dev-dev8 version. It just continues to work and send values to Domoticz. Now running for 1h stable , web interface is responsive, Data is reported to Domoticz.

Free Mem: 21840 (28520)

With the previous bug, it would have stopped working quite some time ago. Now I am not sure if the problem arises when you setup the controller, because thus far, this is where it always started going wrong. Now i setup the controller in the "shardan"-version and just OTA the dev8.

I will continue to let it run on Dev8 for now

Shardan · #33 Post by **Shardan** » 06 May 2017, 15:00

Okay.

I analyzed the failing connection with help from psy0rz and we found the memory
rapidly decreasing when my FHEM controller is connected, a memory leak.
Psy0rz was able to reproduce the bug and fixed it, That's what is compiled into
the binary.

So it would be nice if you check the free RAM now and then.

toffel969 · #36 Post by **toffel969** » 07 May 2017, 10:45

maybe i jumped the gun. last night at 0:00 i checked again and the webserver was not responding. it was still reporting sensor data to domoticz and responding to pings. i also managed to reboot it via http , but webserver was definitly not working anymore. however after reboot it has now 9h uptime again. this is not the same behaviour i saw with dev7 (after reboot i had to hurry to ota to set itback to rc148) unfortunatly i cant give serial output though the node is already installed in a ip54 box outdoors.

Shardan · #37 Post by **Shardan** » 07 May 2017, 15:27

Hello toffel,

how long is the delay for reporting?
The memory leak occurred here every time the ESP reported to my FHEM server.
If i disabled the "Send data" in the tasks it stopped leaking.

So for testing we used delays of 1s and 5s bringing down the free ram very fast
until the ESP first stopped website, then stopped reporting and at last crashed.
Keep in mind I'm using FHEM, with other servers it may behave different.

Have a nice sunday

Regards
Shardan

PS: If that is possible with your server, maybe use "System Info" in an additional task and
report "Free RAM" to your server. I've logged the data with FHEM for being lazy

toffel969 · #38 Post by **toffel969** » 08 May 2017, 12:30

After the last crash I just restarted the node.

Now its starting to get weird. I am running with a 60 second delay.

So maybe it wasn't the controller bug after all. Not sure what to think....

Shardan · #39 Post by **Shardan** » 08 May 2017, 13:47

hmm... interesting (Spock would say "fascinating"..)

Did you re-download the dev8 or is it the same file as before?

Would be the easiest explanation.

Hi there,
while definitely solved the reboot issue, with uptime of days, now (with 2.0.0-dev8) I can't read my pulse counter (that worked in dev7)
Am I the only one ?
Thx & regards
Paolo

Shardan · #45 Post by **Shardan** » 14 May 2017, 20:22

Hi Paolo,

i don't use a pulse counter atm so i can't say.
It might be better to open a new thread for that as noone will find your posting here.
